    Pliers Rack

    Some old sockets from a time long ago

    Came across these old sockets at a garage sale. From the left, two old Snap-Ons, date code 1944 and 1945! Williams and two brands I've never seen before, Fleet and Wizard. Old Craftsman V and a really old Craftsman BE with an older logo.

    Went out ot see a CL Matco Rat Fink Box

    Although I just recently bought a box, an SO KRL761, I saw this model on CL and just had to go see it. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/tls/1545306464.html I think a lot of us here probably grew up with Rat Fink. Early in my search for a box, I saw another one of these, pretty much new...

    Old Logo Snap-On Wrenches

    I was at a garage sale and the fellow had a bunch of old logo Snap-On wrenches. Some in decent shape, but most had a bit of light rust on them. Not sure if it would polish out with a bit of chrome polish. Do they need to be in better condition to be of any interest to anybody here?

    Went shopping thru Craigslist this weekend

    I spent an interesting weekend combing thru Craigslist looking for a gently used box or maybe even a brand new one. I had orginally come across this site after seeing the incredibly priced stainless steel boxes at COSTCO a couple of years ago. Tucked deep into every male cranial recess is the...
